+Thanks for pointing that out, it's a new thing that I wasn't aware of.
+
+Fedora has just added it to their ntp package:
+http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ntp.git;a=commitdiff;h=a05ddcca8f863e9d2585271207bad00da4b30e6f
+
+We'll pull that change in the next time we update our ntp package and its
+systemd unit file.
+
+They also added it to chrony, which we'll get when we import it:
+http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=chrony.git;a=commitdiff;h=f56b1f868382bd6c4a2774e39bb4d9004c79c953
+
+I don't think anything needs to be added to the feature proposal page.

+What changes would need to be made in MCC for this?
